New Side Scrolling Shooter from Konami

“Apparently, Konami will be showcasing a new horizontal side-scrolling shooter at this years Japan Arcade Operator’s Union show. The new arcade title, called “Otomedius,” will feature female characters as the name implies (“Otome” is Japanese for “young lady” according to our info). You can bet this game shows up in the Xbox Live Arcade or PS3 Store lineup for 2007, or maybe even its very own retail package. Great news, thanks Konami! (Thanks, DuckRoll)”
